This question requires three steps:

1. We need to raise the temperature of the ice fromtodegrees Celsius.

2. We need to melt the ice.

3. We need to raise the temperature of the water fromtodegrees Celsius.

Steps one and three can use the equation:

Step 2 requires the enthalpy of fusion to be multiplied by the mass of the water sample.

Finding these three added heats will give us the total amount of heat needed to raise the temperature fromto.

Certain substances, such as carbon dioxide, are able to skip the liquid phase and go from a solid to a gas under standard conditions. This process is called sublimation.

Use the equation:

We can calculate the specific heat capacity for the unknown metal. Since we know the added heat, the mass of the sample, and the change in temperature, we can solve for.

Recall that the formula for specific heat is. Rearranging the equation for specific heat (c) yields

Remark: keep in mind that the release of energy and the cooling of the metal will give negative values for bothand.

Endothermic processes involve a positive change in enthalpy. This means that the enthalpy of products is higher than the enthalpy of reactants and net heat energy is consumed. Phase changes that involve increasing the distance between particles (meaning conversion of solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (evaporation) and solid to gas (sublimation)) require an input of energy and are considered endothermic processes. On the other hand, phase changes that decrease the distance between particles (such as gas to liquid (condensation), liquid to solid (freezing), and gas to solid (deposition)) release energy and are considered exothermic processes.

Exothermic reactions involve release of heat energy. This means that the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants. Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system. It does not depend on the enthalpy and can increase or decrease during an exothermic process. Spontaneity is determined by looking at the change in Gibbs free energy,. Negativecorresponds to a spontaneous process and positivecorresponds to a nonspontaneous process. While the equation for Gibbs free energy,, involves change in enthalpy, the spontaneity also depends on temperature and change in entropy. Exothermic reactions release energy in the form of heat. This heat energy can be used to power other processes that require energy; therefore, exothermic reactions can facilitate active processes that consume energy.

Exergonic reactions release energy; therefore, the energy of products is lower than that of the reactants. Endergonic reactions consume energy; therefore, the energy of products is greater than that of the reactants. In other words, exergonic reactions are spontaneous, while endergonic reactions are nonspontaneous, and require the net input of energy to drive the reaction.

We need to use the following equation to answer this question:

Above,is change in Gibbs free energy,is change in enthalpy,is temperature, andis change in entropy. The question states that the reaction is spontaneous; therefore,is negative. We can also determine thefor this reaction by looking at the phases of the products and reactants. Recall that entropy is a measure of disorder. When it comes to phases, gases have the highest entropy and solids have the lowest entropy. This is because in gases the molecules are spread out and have more room for disorder while solids are compressed and well packaged, decreasing the disorder of the atoms/molecules. Liquids are intermediate in entropy. In this reaction, we are creating a liquid from two molecules of gas; therefore, we are decreasing the entropy of the system (going to a more ordered, liquid state). The change in entropy for this reaction is negative.

Rearranging and solving the equation above forgives us:

Since bothandare negative,will always be negative (regardless of temperature). This is an exothermic reaction.
